Recently added to our DJ roster, please welcome Lorena Diez!
Originally from Mar del Plata, Argentina, Lorena Diez has earned a distinguished reputation as a tango organizer, teacher, DJ, and multidisciplinary artist. Since 2008, she has been a dedicated and vital presence in Miami’s thriving tango community.
She is currently the organizer and DJ of two prominent Miami-based milongas: Open Air Tango on Lincoln Road and Las Pebetas Milonga, both established in 2017.
Lorena’s musical style is defined by her refined curation of Golden Age tango classics, enriched by her extensive knowledge of contemporary orchestras emerging from Buenos Aires. Her DJ sets are celebrated for their dynamic energy, emotional depth, and ability to create immersive dance experiences. She has been invited to perform at milongas, festivals, and marathons across the United States, Mexico, Colombia, Spain, and Argentina.
Beyond her work as a DJ, Lorena is a visual artist and tango costume designer, and the founder of Sur-Real Designs, a brand she has passionately developed since 2010. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Florida, a foundation that informs her artistic approach to tango as a living, evolving form of expression and cultural dialogue. Her work has been recognized with the Miami Individual Artist (MIA) Award from the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs in 2023 and 2025.
Lorena will be bringing her DJ skills and her beautiful tango clothes to the festival in September. Make sure to get your tickets to come and join us before Early Bird registration ends on May 1st!
